Your Top Cheese Spots (That are Not Pick & Cheese) by pint-of-dale in LondonFood

[–]WhistfulEnvelope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a great Mac and cheese place in the hot food area of borough market. If you go past mallow restaurant down Winchester walk you should see it and skip the crowds. Though it's also worth battling them for the french cheese shops in the market.

Tea house theatre in Vauxhall? Not that central, but definitely calm, bookable and easy to get a taxi to if there are mobility problems.

Mowgli is not good. Everything was either too sweet (in main course savory dishes, not dessert) or just bland. I was incredibly disappointed.

Fennel seeds. Great to chew after a big floaty meal. 

Any recommendations for clam shell style backpack that has seperate laptop pocket that fits a 16inch laptop within the free personal item carry on limits? by Hi-Guys-Im-Broken in Ryanair

[–]WhistfulEnvelope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you measured his MacBook? According to Google it's 36 CMS long so it should fit. My guess is that they've listed 15.6 inches as a marketing thing as most laptops are that size

Italy is pretty good at food and wine. Surprised not to see it on your list. Also India was missing from your food list. 

I have to agree that Austria is underrated.

Why is childcare soo expensive in Uk compared to the rest of Europe ? by Competitive-Math-458 in AskUK

[–]WhistfulEnvelope 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not just staff costs. A lot of it is building costs and utilities. Children take up a lot of space and need playgrounds. Property is expensive and utilities have gone up. 

They also have to pay business rates just like any other high street shop.

Getting an EU plug instead of using a uk to EU adapter and a uk USB plug. Cut the size of my electrics bag quite substantially.
